Amazon Studios is expanding its relationship with Barry Jenkins, signing a first-look TV deal with the “Moonlight” director’s company, Pastel.

“Barry is clearly a master of groundbreaking, authentically emotional storytelling and we are so proud to have him share that gift with us,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios. “We are incredibly fortunate to have also secured his directorial vision for the entire limited series ‘The Underground Railroad.'”

Jenkins will direct all 11 episodes of the streamer’s adaption of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning and bestselling novel.

“The Underground Railroad” centers on a young slave named Cora and her journey as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. After escaping her Georgia plantation for the rumored Underground Railroad, Cora discovers no mere metaphor, but an actual railroad full of engineers and conductors, and a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. “The Underground Railroad” is being produced by Pastel andBrad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment.

“We at Pastel are excited to continue our Amazon relationship begun on ‘Underground Railroad’ and look forward to growing that partnership on projects near and beyond,” said Jenkins.

Jenkins, along with playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney, received an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for “Moonlight,” which also won Best Picture. Jenkins’ next film, “If Beale Street Could Talk,” is set to hit theaters Nov. 30.

Oscars: Inside the After Parties with Warren Beatty, Team 'Moonlight' and Viola Davis Clutching Gold (Photos)

Up until the final moment of the Oscars, we never thought that Warren Beatty would be the most in-demand person after the show.

Curiously still holding an envelope, a group including Fox Studios chief Jim Gianopulos surrounds Beatty at the Governors Ball upstairs from the show at the Dolby Ballroom.

Both duplicates of Emma Stone's "Best Actress" envelope were opened on Sunday night. The "La La Land" star clutched her trophy tight inside the Dolby Ballroom...

And let her brother Spencer carry it around.

Casey Affleck gets his Best Actor Oscar engraved in the winners' circle at the Governors Ball. From the "Good Will Hunting" crew of Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Casey, the "Manchester By the Sea" lead is the only one to ever win an acting Oscar.

Leonardo DiCaprio (at the Gov Ball, where Hillhaven Whiskey and Piper-Heidsieck flowed) was mildly mixed up in the great Ocsar Flub of 2017, as he presented Emma Stone her Best Actress Oscar.

For now, he looks glad to be a veteran Oscar winner.

No despair for Damien Chazelle (with girlfriend Olivia Hamilton). He won Best Director.

Two thirds of the "Hidden Figures" lead trio: Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae.

Over at Elton John's bash, the fundraiser-in-chief sang with St. Paul & The Broken Bones.

Immediately after the telecast's shock ending, Sir Elton got on the mic to address a stunned crowd and begin the auction portion of the evening.

"As much I wanted 'Moonlight' to win, we have to feel bad for 'La La Land'," Elton said. "So tough to give it back."

He then went on to honor the other nationally televised shock ending to the only television event of the year bigger than the Oscars: The Super Bowl. Elton called out Patriots owner Robert Kraft and congratulated him on their recent Super Bowl comeback win.

Fraternizing with the enemy: Robert Kraft, a pregnant Ciara, John, and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. The Patriots snatched a Super Bowl win from the Seahawks two years ago with an improbable goal line interception.

Ruby Rose and Laverne Cox were two of the many famous faces at the Elton John fundraiser. The Party Report spied Tim Allen, Aisha Tyler, Eric McCormack, Tracee Ellis Ross, and one musician fresh from the Oscars stage...

Sting.

When Sting rolled out of West Hollywood Park just before midnight, the singer, wife Trudie Styler, and their entourage piled in to one SUV. While Sting said "I'll take the front," and hopped in shotgun, three of his friends opted for the caboose.

Three of Sting's pals left Elton John's party the same way kids get stuck in a carpool: in the "way back".

This could not have been the plan. Audi continued their long relationship with the EJAF as they shuttled celebrities and VIPs to a closed block of San Vicente Boulevard for arrivals at West Hollywood Park.

The "Victoria's Secret" fashion show comes to West Hollywood: Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, and Josephine Skriver. The fashion community has been a long time supporter of the Elton John AIDS Foundation's mission.

At Delilah in West Hollywood, Amazon celebrated their three wins. Kenneth Lonergan, power publicist Mara Buxbaum, and Casey Affleck.

Darren Le Gallo and Amy Adams would hit the dance floor. Adams' "Arrival" took home one Oscar, for sound editing.

This would be useful for cleaning up after eating an In-N-Out Burger. Per usual, VF had the burger chain's truck pull up for the end of "industry lent" - where famished actors and dieting industry types can finally inhale food now that awards season is over.

"The Salesman" wins gold: This is the foreign language film whose director boycotted the Oscars in protest of the Republican administration's travel ban. In a smart behind-the-scenes campaign move, Charles Cohen (with wife Clo) sent screeners to all Academy members before Thanksgiving.

Circus Magazine, a film magazine debuting later this year, threw a party at the Absolut Elyx house in the Hollywood Hills. It's been the scene of many late-night bashes this awards season.

We're still not entirely sure how Warren Beatty is to blame, but former Obama chief speechwriter and "Pod Save America" host Jon Favreau immediately tweeted: "Also Hillary just won Wisconsin Michigan and Pennsylvania?".

It earned 16,000 likes.
